To evaluate a probabilistic generalization we need to do more than to find one or two counterexamples. Which of the following questions should be asked when evaluating the logical strength of a probabilistic generalization?
A) Can I think of at least three possible counterexamples?
B) Is the generalization consistent with common sense?
C) Were enough cases considered?
D) What are the implications of the generalization, if it is true?
Probabilistic Generalization
A statement that applies in general terms to a percentage of cases, acknowledging that exceptions may exist.
Counterexamples
Instances or cases that contradict a rule or a generalization, often used to disprove arguments.
- Recognize the significance and implications of probabilistic generalization in logical reasoning.
